I'd say that's taking it sufficiently seriously.
-
Can’t say that’s not our strongest available team. Here’s to a win and no more injuries.
-
Pleased with that team considering the players available. UTV
-
Strongest team - lets do this.
I want to see villa win the FA cup more than any other trophy - thinks its our year
-
Good starting 11. Hopefully we don't have to use Torres off the bench.
I'm glad Emery seems to have finally dropped Diaby. Playing him into form hasn't worked, maybe a spell on the bench will do it.
-
Well, that's what you'd call going at it like a bull at a gate. Nice one Unai.
-
Strongest team - lets do this.

Sssshhhhhhh! ;)
-
Strong line-up, like it. Good to see Pau, Ramsey, Zaniolo and Kellyman on the bench.
-
Good old Unai
he loves a cup comp
-
That Chelsea team is so so weak. The defence is made of poor players and I can only see 3+ goals being scored and being on Leeds next round
Looking forward to this!
Up The Villa.
-
Good old Unai
he loves a cup comp
And quite right too!

Strange call having both Sterling and Nkunku on the bench…

Oh FFS, you're about as successful at predictions as my nan doing the pools. 3-0 Chelsea then.

TBF, if there's one thing he knows about, it's Chelsea.

One of the rules, as a Villa fan, is not too be sooo freaking optimistic so close to kick off.
-

That has 100% done it......
-
I'm quite relaxed about this. Same as I was first time around. I'd love to win the FA Cup again but my whole season isn't riding on it. We really should be beating them comfortably here but no more injuries at the end of the night and I'm happy.
-
In the studio with Mark Pougatch, it's Roy Keane and Karen Carney. Oh joy...

Not so sure, probability says he'll eventually be right one day, why not today?
-
I see that Jackson, who has proven himself incapable of hitting a barn door from three paces, is playing.
Traditionally, we all know what would happen now.
-
Putting on ITV for the game and it's the tail end of Emmerdale Farm. Been yonks since I saw it, hoping for a scene with Amos and Mr Wilkes before the credits.
-
Hope I'm wrong, but think it could go to pens.
-
Even the bench is looking stronger again
-

I don't think it's had the 'farm' suffix since we last won a major trophy!
-
It's set in Yorkshire, not Suffix.
-
Pochettino deeply annoyed by the ITV interviewer's line of questioning re why are you not playing this player and this other
-
Hope I'm wrong, but think it could go to pens.
I'd take pens if we win.
Haven't been confident about this one since the first game. A replay at home should give us the ideal chance to progress against a mediocre Chelsea. But it's the Villa.
-
Two minutes about villa now it's the Chelsea show.
-
Pochettino deeply annoyed by the ITV interviewer's line of questioning re why are you not playing this player and this other
Thought he looked tired and seemed a bit tecthy even before the question. Whoever dyes his hair does a good job though.
-
Feeling fairly confident pre-match, just feel wary of Palmer getting. a couple of goals tonight.
-
Looking back at the 2000 Final after the break. You can catch the last 20 of Eastenders on BBC1. Thank me later.
-
Viewer Discretion advised : Discussion of the 2000 Final coming up after the break. :(
-
"we'll look at the 2000 final"
Fuck that, time to watch the BBC
-
... After the break, we'll be looking back to the last ever FA Cup played at the old Wemb-please don't
-
Come on FTF.
-
Bad visions of Palmer and that cringey celebration as he springs our trap. Deano in charge, would set his own traps.
-
There was no 2000 Final.
There was no 2015 Final.
-
God we were unbelievably shit that day. Even worse than '15. We only started playing three minutes from the end. Remember David James nearly managed a headed equaliser
-
ITV is so utterly shite.
-
Poch looked very uncomfortable in that interview .
-
Remember David James nearly managed a headed equaliser
I don't evem remember that. Wiped 99% of that game from my memory.
-

Strange. I can't for the life of me remember that final....
-
Just got into North Stand Lower. Have they got the top tier?
-
God we were unbelievably shit that day. Even worse than '15. We only started playing three minutes from the end. Remember David James nearly managed a headed equaliser
The most disappointing day following Villa. Worse than 2015, worse than 2010 worse than 2020. The 2018 playoff does run it close.

that SF v Chelsea was bad too (0-3)
-
Just got into North Stand Lower. Have they got the top tier?
Yes. First few rows are blocked off.
-
Super team selection, for once I am happy with the commitment so this can only end badly😥
-

I had my CFA Level II exams the following Saturday, so had to study on the flight back to Miami the next day. I've had better weekends.

At least in '10 and' 20 we played OK. We were robbed in '10 tbh. How the hell Vidic wasn't sent off irritates me to this day

Fair points. There was just something about 2000. We genuinely should have had nothing to fear in 2000. We were an established top 6 team. They weren't what they later became. The sense of occasion in 2000 also, it sort of felt like it would be our day.
In the finals since 2000 I always felt we were big underdogs and didn't have the sort of expectations I had in 2000
-
i found 2015 far worse than the Chelsea loss.
0-4 was humiliating
-
Gonna kill, kill, kill, kill, kill Chelsea
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill Chelsea
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill Chelsea tonight
-
come on Villa
me old man always talking about the 57 final and Johnny Dixon , never seen us win it and 66 years is mental for a club like Villa to have never won it since.
Lets do it .. If we can beat cheat city n wanky Arsenal in a week , we can do these and Manure .
-
thought we was going to score then
-
As we’re live on ITV, I’m curious to see how the PWS Time Machine works
-
As we’re live on ITV, I’m curious to see how the PWS Time Machine works
Im sure PWS is actually Ollie Watkins
-
Shoot ffs
-
Atmosphere seems great
-
Moreno>> what you doing
-
Pochettino deeply annoyed by the ITV interviewer's line of questioning re why are you not playing this player and this other
Thiago Silvia’s wife tweeted ‘Time for a change’ after the Wolves game and then Poch dropped Thiago Silva.
The commentary team said ‘He should have expected that question’.
My view was that he absolutely expected that question and answered it by saying ‘I am a professional who has picked my best team’ whilst pissing himself laughing!
-
Looks like a game where we can't do the right thing in the box
-
Cash has already been really positive - great to see.
-
I think Moreno did the right thing badly, he'd never have scored from there but if he'd found Watkins it could've been a very good chance.
-
Looks like a game where if we get an early goal we could hammer them.
-

Completely. After the run we had leading to the Final, it was there to be history in the making. I bloody loved all the build up, queuing for 4 hours at VP for tickets and then, well, THAT. Anyway.......
-
Little bit of ITV Chelsea wanking
-
They seem to be getting a bit of joy down our right.
-
chance there for the billionaire boys club
-
0-1 Chelsea ffs
-
Bollocks.
-
Kamaras fault
-
Fucking hell.
-
Shite there
-
Fucking hell sake
-
Oh dear , pathetic
-
Piss poor loss of the ball in midfield led to that
-
Luis unaware
-
sems when Kamara gives the ball away we get fucking punished
-
Mistake from Kamara and cash out of position.
-
Shit giveaway from Kamara
-
It's been coming. They have had far too much space left and centre
-
Martinez didn't even go full stretch for that.
-
I'm convinced we have a curse on us in the FA Cup.
-
sems when Kamara gives the ball away we get fucking punished
He is doing it a lot recently.
-
Chance for Bailey
-
Yeah, Kamara gave it away.
-
Nice response to the goal
-
bailey chance
we need to shoot more and stop overdoing it
-
Good response
-
Good response so far.
-
There’s more goals in this game
-
Shite goal to concede really sloppy.
-
That corner was dreadful
-
Good response Villa
-
WTF McGinn
-
We have lost control very quickly. Need Luiz to sit in next to Kamara and stop getting caught ahead of the ball. Kamara was terrible for the goal and Luiz effort to block the shot poor also.
-
Fuck knows what that corner was about.
-
McGinn not at his best
-
We're too sloppy with the ball and giving them too much time on the ball
-
wake up KAmara ffs
-
Kamara giving the ball away again.
-
Kamara having a mare
-
Matter of time before they score again
-
They could easily be 2-3 up here. Need to get a grip
-
Kamara again, wtf.
-
They're targeting Kamara, by the looks of it. Two players on him all the time.
-
midfield getting boosed too easy
-
It feels like we thought this would be a stroll
-
So lucky, need to switch the fuck on or this will be over.
-
Not great from Kamara but most refs would've given him a free kick there, if they'd scored it'd been a bit of a gift.
-

He has been source of goals a few times
-
Something wrong here. Chelsea should not be bossing this.
-
I'd say we're second best but the officals are doping better than us so we're 3rd best so far.
-
0-2
-
Back to the same old shit then.
-
Not great from Kamara but most refs would've given him a free kick there, if they'd scored it'd been a bit of a gift.
Agreed.
-
Fuck off
-
Pathetic.
-
Fucking hell, fucking hell, that's pathetic.
-
there you fucking go
-
Utterly pathetic
-
Double bollocks.
-
See you next year
-
Totally exposed.
-
Really, really fucking poor. Absolutely second best.
-
Absolute shite
-
Our second string defence isn't very good.
-
Bastards
-
Been coming. Far too ponderous.
-
FFS
-
Fuck's, and indeed, sake
-
Fuck me, Carlos, with a half hearted too-late attempt to intercept.
-
Fucking useless. Just fucking useless
-
Newcastle part 2, we are all over the place.
-
Shambles of a goal
-
Fucking hell villa. Let’s hope we are prioritising the league as first Newcastle who were shit away and now the Chelsea twats. Wake the fuck up
-
Fuck off villa. On the tv at night? Play shite.
-
Absolutely shocking, midfield nowhere and full backs no where. Absolute mess.
-
Our second string defence isn't very good.
But our first team midfield is non existent
-
Midfield is missing tonight
-
They have so much space and are at our defence in no time, midfield is non existent. Sort it Emery.
-
Who jinxed this on the thread?
-
that commentator needs to STFU too
-
Getting killed here. They're quicker all over the pitch, overrunning us in midfield and have got acres of space out wide.
-
Change it now FFS. Don’t wait for half fucking time
-
Getting destroyed by Chelsea. Utterly embarrassing.
-
Who jinxed this on the thread?
Footy is top of the list!
-
Who jinxed this on the thread?
My bad
-
Who jinxed this on the thread?
Someone saying we should win by 3 at minimum?
-
We are unrecognizable from the magical side of 2023.
-
McGinn wake up!!!!
-
We're lucky it's only 0-2. We're utter wank since first few mins
-
Mcginn is fucking dreadful tonight
-
Keep losing the ball in midfield like v Newcastle
-
Getting done in midfield, were Outnumbered
-
No movement.
-
It’s like Newcastle again, we just have nothing.
-
Commentator: “No-one saw this coming”
I did as soon as I heard Konsa was out. Just the sort of game we bottle, every time.
-
That Chelsea team is so so weak. The defence is made of poor players and I can only see 3+ goals being scored and being on Leeds next round
Looking forward to this!
Up The Villa.
Oh FFS, you're about as successful at predictions as my nan doing the pools. 3-0 Chelsea then.
FFS Indeed.
-
Our second string defence isn't very good.
But our first team midfield is non existent
But the midfield is used to the defence pushing up and squeezing the space. Instead, we now have a ponderous, slow back line whose instinct is to back off. It's leaving a huge gap.
-
Shambles of a goal
Change it now FFS. Don’t wait for half fucking time
Give me a clue, who's to be brought on to turn this round ?
-
It's like we are asleep. Sort it out
-
get a grip ffs lads
-
We need a response right now
-
The midfield is the problem, we just can't get a grip on things in there.
-
The midfield is the problem, we just can't get a grip on things in there.
Need to change shape a bit, they've got one more in the middle every time
-
Bambi caught in headlight
-
The midfield is basically not there again. Terrible.
-
Not over yet, just need to get one back.
-
After all the talk of Poch under pressure etc. you just knew this would happen.
But, Emery needs to sort it.
-
Cash is doing fuck all.
-
Our home form is beginning to match our away form.
-
Given the ref has let a few things go that's a really soft free kick for Palmer.
-
We need one of the centre halves to step into midfield and provide the extra man.
-
If we score next, it’ll be game on. But we can’t afford any more fuck ups.
-
3 times now kamara
no one can pass the fucking ball
-
Given the ref has let a few things go that's a really soft free kick for Palmer.
Yeah, I thought that. He's not giving us much.
-
Why can't we have nice things?
Why does it always have to end in disappointment for us?
Is that ever going to end?
-
Our home form is beginning to match our away form.
I sure as hell am glad Mr Heck announced before the Sheff United home game that building a new stand was a 'bad idea' because Villa Park was currently a fortress. D'oh
-
I can't stand listening to these brain dead commentators saying how surprised they are with us. We've been poor for quite a while now, putting 5 past a woeful Sheff Utd doesn't change that
-
Kamara is well off the boil tonight
-
4 times kamara
-
WTF is Kamara at?
-
Kamara might as well have a blue shirt on
-
Kamara having a total stinker
-
Why can't we have nice things?
Why does it always have to end in disappointment for us?
Is that ever going to end?
I’m convinced we will not win this cup again in my lifetime.
-
I can't stand listening to these brain dead commentators saying how surprised they are with us. We've been poor for quite a while now, putting 5 past a woeful Sheff Utd doesn't change that
Yep , Saturday merely papered over the cracks
-
Kamara off at half time, Tim on.
-
Was Kamara on the piss last night?
-
Kamara off at half time, Tim on.
Agreed
-
Every now and then Kamara is woeful.
-
I can't stand listening to these brain dead commentators saying how surprised they are with us. We've been poor for quite a while now, putting 5 past a woeful Sheff Utd doesn't change that
and they spent a million quid its as If its Crawley
-
Think I might go back out again.
-
Kamara is having one of the worst games I’ve ever seen.
-
Why can't we have nice things?
Why does it always have to end in disappointment for us?
Is that ever going to end?
I’m convinced we will not win this cup again in my lifetime.
How old are you?
-
Chelsea in turmoil you say? Players in mutiny against the manager you say? Beaten at home by wolves you say? Come to Villa park it’s get your season back on track week.
-
That last one is a bit harsh to blame Kamara for, Bailey turned and ran literally as he played the pass so it was a communication problem rather than a poor pass.
-
Is def giving us anything?
-
Why can't we have nice things?
Why does it always have to end in disappointment for us?

That's the spirit
-
Is def giving us anything?
Nah the defence have been about as horrific as the midfield
-
Being dominated physically again. It's happening too often.
-
We badly need some physicality here
-
Ref even you cheeky sod
-
Was Kamara on the piss last night?
Doesn't touch alcohol, which makes it worse
-
Why can't we have nice things?
Why does it always have to end in disappointment for us?
Is that ever going to end?
I’m convinced we will not win this cup again in my lifetime.

🤣🤣
-
That's a foul by Galllagher, made contact with Bailey long before he got a touch on the ball, ref isn't helping us at all.
-
Kamara is having one of the worst games I’ve ever seen.
He has to come off. He's been the worst of a horrendous bunch tonight
-
this is wank
-
Even with a great manager who is a particularly great manager in cup competitions, we're shit in cup competitions.
-
My mini-theory that we tend to play about as well as Kamara does is unfortunately looking quite good right now.
-
He isn't just giving the ball away, it's the throwing his hands on the air and not chasing back afterward. Needs hooking at HT
-
At the moment… we’re just not very good.
Or not as good as many of us thought that we were 3 months ago
-
Shameful stuff - so like Newcastle, completely disjointed in attack and open when defending. It’s pathetic at the moment.
-
Ref a real prick
-
Moreno soft as shit
-
Fucking he’ll nearly 3 from our attack. What is going on here.
-
Ref a real prick
As are the commentators
-
Bottom line, they want it more
-
Chelsea wiping the floor with us
-
Bottom line, they want it more
Bottom line Chelsea are ******
-
it was doug not moreno soz
-
Ref a real prick
As are the commentators
Yeah, but they aren't affecting the game
-
My mini-theory that we tend to play about as well as Kamara does is unfortunately looking quite good right now.
I think we also get frustrated with the ref far too quickly and Kamara is one of the worst for losing his head if it happens.
-
Ref a real prick
What a difference a night makes. The ref in Plymouth v Leeds game was excellent, we get the twat.
-
Luiz bullied there like he was a few years ago. We are a shambles
-
Totally disorganised. Fucking shite.
-
Pathetic Doug.
-
Conor Gallagher having his one brilliant game a season.
-
I'd settle for a point right now
-
Defence is shocking. For me its Cash again, he does kind of seems to do his part but when I watch him closely it seems he really dosent - but what do I know. We also are dependent on Unais system to a degree and when it dosent work individual players seems a bit lost if they dont have strong character like Konsa and some.
-
Ref a real prick
As are the commentators
Yeah, but they aren't affecting the game
True, but if there were any hypothetical enjoyment to be had out of watching this game, they’re sucking it out of it
More missing passings. Piss piss poor
-
This is as bad a first half as Saturdays was good.
-
get santa on from the stand behind Emerry
-
We have been sussed out. I was hoping it wasn't true but the evidence is there for all to see. Newcastle showed us up, Chelsea are on the verge of humiliating us and we seem to have no response.
Konsa out will see us finish around 8th at this rate.
-
We are unrecognisable from the team at the latter end of 2023.
-
Just score Villa
-

I think this is incredibly harsh, the problems are in midfield not in defence, Galagher in particular is getting far too much space.
-
To be fair, there aren't many teams who could cope with losing their entire first choice defence. I'm not sure why more hasn't been made of our insane injury crisis.
-
We’ve got a massive problem when we go behind. Our game plan is set up to draw teams out, but they don’t need to. Instead we’re aimlessly playing into their hands.
-
This ref is a total prick too
-
yellow card for that wanker ref
-
67 years and counting...
Although it was nice to get into the 4th round for a change.
-
To be fair, there aren't many teams who could cope with losing their entire first choice defence. I'm not sure why more hasn't been made of our insane injury crisis.
I have even seen our own fans play it down, it is absolutely crazy how little focus is on our injury woes

All season long, our approach has been to play a high line and squeeze the space between midfield and defence.
Since Torres got injured, I don't think we've caught the opposition off side even once.
-
Chelsea breaking out and Villa doing is the complete opposite
-
The warnings about Emery being ineffective when he gets found out beginning to ring ever louder
-

Unbelievable. The man has plenty of goodwill in the tank and I trust him to sort us.

To be fair it's what the squad is for so all there is to do is get on with things.
-

It's more the mentality of the players
-

Must have come out from under the bridge for a bit
-
The warnings about Emery being ineffective when he gets found out beginning to ring ever louder
Back under your bridge with you
-

Eh? What warnings? Where and who from?
-
We’ve got a massive problem when we go behind. Our game plan is set up to draw teams out, but they don’t need to. Instead we’re aimlessly playing into their hands.
Yes.
-
To be honest… there’s not too much to be cheerful about in this game,
Maybe that it’s not 3 or 4-0?
-
The warnings about Emery being ineffective when he gets found out beginning to ring ever louder
?????
Ignore him, he only shows up when we're losing. He was nowhere to be seen on Saturday evening, so draw your own conclusions.
-
Dixon saying that wasn't a foul. Knob
-
To be honest… there’s not too much to be cheerful about in this game,
Maybe that it’s not 3 or 4-0?
It’s not a league game?
-
The warnings about Emery being ineffective when he gets found out beginning to ring ever louder
Ha ha you funny fu*cker, now go back under your stone
-
Jesus the commentary 🤬🤬🤬🤬

When Spurs and Newcastle fans were moaning about injuries, we were correctly taking the piss out of them. Lets not do the same. The players out there tonight should not be playing so pathetically
-
They're more organised, look like they know what they're doing, are first to every ball, are stronger in the tackle. After cutting them open a few times early on it now looks like one of those games where we play slow, slow, slow-slow, slow and never look like creating a chance. We are a real Jeckyll and Hyde team, comparing when we go behind or take the lead.
Praying to the Dark Gods we don't fall behind Vs ManUre on Sunday.
-
Twatterface and dickhead
-
Always in front of a watching nation.
-
least we got the inform Diaby , inform JJ and inform Zaniolo to change the game from the bench
-
Tielemans non existent and McGinn and Kamara having a shocker.
Too many midfielders would have Diaby or Ramsey on for 3 up top.
-
There's a lot of panicking going on. Not on here - on the pitch. Shit, rushed passes and no coordinated pressing. This looks like a Gerrard team.
-
God this ref is useless
-
Dixon saying that wasn't a foul. Knob
Yet another ex-player who is fucking useless but keeps getting work.
-
Gutless
-
Get Carlos off before he gets a red
-
Chelsea choosing to have their best game in a while not helping
-
Get a goal before half time and never know.
And second half going have to be a different proposition.
-
We're not with its at all but this ref is being a twat
-
I'm a big fan usually but Luiz so far tonight reminds me of the work shy guy who played for us until the covid times.
-
Second time in two home games where we look utterly unprepared and clueless. There is absolutely zero chance we’re getting back into this.
-
Get a goal before half time and never know.
And second half going have to be a different proposition.
Cheers
-
Unai bettee make some fucking changes. This players have been a fucking embarrassment
-
To be fair they’ve done well (helped by a pathetic referee of course) but Unai has for work to do here
-
God this ref is useless
Thomas Bramell rookie ref.
Never lost under him in two matches so still some hope.
Did the 4-4 Newcastle Luton other day so never know!
-
Moreno has been awful
-
McGinn on the left? You might as well tie his fucking laces together. Diego Carlos's performance has me hankering for a Nathan Baker comeback. In fact the entire back four can shit off back to 2014. Fucking weak.
-
first proper chance
-
Get a goal before half time and never know.
And second half going have to be a different proposition.
You were ridiculously overconfident before the game started
-
Mcginn should ahve done bettee
-
Trust in Emery.
-
Oh McGinn. You should have buried that.
-
This is embarrassing
-
Mcginn should ahve done bettee
Awful half and playing position poorly this half.
-
So us to go an eternity winning games in row at Villa Park and then throw in some fucking shit performances to lose traction in the league and quite possibly getting dumped in the cup. Just shit
-
I’m going to mute the half time analysis.
-
Oops.
-
Moreno also having a bad day, not clicking
-
That was very hard work. Too many off their game
-
Not watching the half time analysis. Chelsea jizz Chelsea jizz
-
Absolute garbage first half, we are making Chelsea look like Messi's Barcelona.
Kamara and McGinn woeful.
-
Another worst half of the season to add to a growing collection really, I'm afraid to say. We have something to seriously sort out.
-
Hope there's a Plan B, and if there is, time to dust it off. Piss poor.
-
When Kamara has an off game he sure is utterly awful isn't he? He needs to be subbed at HT, not really fussed who for.
-
I’m going to mute the half time analysis.
Yeh I feel I should go outside for a fag but unfortunately I don’t smoke
-
Worryingly exactly the same as the Newcastle game. The midfield, and as a result the full backs, are absolutely killing us. Like the Newcastle game, we won’t arrest this - it’s a shocking performance.
-
I'm not saying it's been shit so far but I'm off the Politics thread for some iight relief.
-
Two absolutely fucking dreadful home performances in a row. Absolute fucking dog muck.
-
They look a bit like a hungover Sunday team.
Strong coffee at HT.
-
Look knackered and for all of Chelsea’s shiteness this season they clearly have some good players.
Typical of course that they click against us.
-
Dixon saying that wasn't a foul. Knob
Yet another ex-player who is fucking useless but keeps getting work.
Kind of makes a mockery of people wanting ex-pros involved in VAR. "Someone who has played the game would know that is/isn't a foul". Sure.
-
Gutless, embarrassing and disgusting
How do you as professional footballers at home put on a 1st half performance as bad as that?
I thought this dark days were behind us but clearly not. Im not happy. Fucking shocking performance
-
Man United on Sunday could be a slaughter the way we've played the last two home games.
-
McGinn on the left? You might as well tie his fucking laces together.
To be fair, he played on the left against Man City & Arsenal and was brilliant in both games. And on Saturday against Sheffield United, weaker opposition granted.
-
Putting a strong team out makes it worse.
-
Trying to remember when the last time was that we caught an opposing player offside. Can't.
-
They'll get their 3rd when we do our patented concede a stupid goal within 5mins of the restart trick.
-
Look knackered and for all of Chelsea’s shiteness this season they clearly have some good players.
Typical of course that they click against us.
Theres no way they should be knackered. They had about as easy a game as you could wish to have on Saturday evening

He really is a total fraud…always is

I particularly enjoyed ‘Watkins hasn’t had a touch’ about 5 seconds after he’d had a touch.
-
Another spectacular performance in the FA Cup! We're so bad at this competition. Two abysmal finals in 67 years. Fuuucking hell.
-
It’s also like the Manure second half, once we lose control we don’t regain it. I don’t expect to win this now, but it’d be nice to see Unai change something as opposed to what happened in the Barcodes game.
-
Man United on Sunday could be a slaughter the way we've played the last two home games.
Absolutely.
-
I know we have a fair few injured at the moment, but the main issue we're having now is that the summer signings haven't improved last year's squad. Torres aside, we're still mostly relying on the players we already had.

Wouldn't surprise me.
-
Moreno has been dismal again.
-
Tielemans isn't in the game at all. No point keeping him where he is.
-
Moreno also having a bad day, not clicking
Would probably have to go back to the relegation season to see the kind of half hearted effort he has just put in. Looks completely disinterested.
Hasn't been the only one and Carlos is a red card waiting to happen.
-

Also it’s not a coincidence Newcastle and Chelsea have “clicked” against us, we’re the architects of it.
-
Trying to remember when the last time was that we caught an opposing player offside. Can't.
Sheffield United six offsides on Saturday
-
It's just so bad out there it's hard to know where to even start with changes. Watkins and Martinez get a pass, just about every other player has been useless. That half arsed attitude summed up by likes of Kamara and Luiz.
I'm wondering if 433 is worth a go with Diaby and Bailey either side of Watkins. I'd keep McGinn on and take off any of Kamara, Luiz or Tielemans. They have no pressure playing out from back into midfield whereas we simply can't do it. If Torres is capable of 45mins then might aswell get him on now ahead of the weekend.
-
The only way we will get anything from this personnel changes at HT. I worry that it'll be the same 11 trotting out second half.
I would add zaniolo for a bit of muscle and take off tileimans, plus anyone on for kamara
-
Trying to remember when the last time was that we caught an opposing player offside. Can't.
Last Saturday.
-
Well we better see a better second half. Chelsea have completely battered us, has Kamara ever played football before?
Shocking display all round.
-
I know the midfield have been poor, but Cash was terrible for the first goal, and Carlos completely lost his man for the second.
-
A few games ago, the Villa away fans were chanting we’ve got our Villa back´.
I see what they mean now.
-
Does Emery have a change of formation and playing style in him? Now is the time to try something different
-
It’s also like the Manure second half, once we lose control we don’t regain it. I don’t expect to win this now, but it’d be nice to see Unai change something as opposed to what happened in the Barcodes game.
Yep, turning it around for a win isn't impossible, but it's unlikely now. However, I want to see a us being the better team in the second half. Change what you need to change to make that happen. Show us something. Show us you care about going out of the cup.
Who knows, an early goal in the second half and they'll be very nervous given they should be out of sight by now. The way we've played there's more chance of this finish 0-3 as there is of us getting back into it.
-
Just like the Newcastle game, it's not like we're losing to a superior team, we're just not fucking bothered. Lazy and too comfortable with life at Villa Park.
-
We should stop wasting everyone's time and money and just not enter the FA Cup any more.
-
Lets get an early goal and make a game of it.
As bad as we have played all season.
-
When Kamara has an off game he sure is utterly awful isn't he? He needs to be subbed at HT, not really fussed who for.
You're right. If we've one player whose 'off' day permeates through the team, it's him. I work from time to time with a bloke who'll say, "I'm just not feeling it today", and he'll fuck off home. Emery should ask Kamara how he's feeling before he picks the line-up. No judging, just accept that it's not his day, and don't pick him. We'd be better off.
-
Chelsea have obviously watched our game against Newcastle. It's an instruction video on how to beat us.
-
I know we have a fair few injured at the moment, but the main issue we're having now is that the summer signings haven't improved last year's squad. Torres aside, we're still mostly relying on the players we already had.
Tielemans on his game is an asset and there have been signs of that. What we do miss is JJ Ramsey's ability to drive up the pitch from midfield. We have no one else with that kind of ability in the middle and he's basically been a write-off this season for us.
-
Absolutely pathetic. They don’t care about the FA Cup. They’re not going to win it in my life time and I’m buggered if I’m bothered about watching another FA Cup match again. First time under Emery where effort isn’t there. We’ll most likely beat them in the league fixture.
-
Nobody came out of that half with any credit
Défense, midfield all terrible
Wise words and a bit more application may help, but not holding my breath
-

We have Dougie but he's cruising again tonight.
-
We better win the European conference if we are throwing this game. It feels like fa cup and league cup just aren’t important anymore. Typical villa, get top four and get a nose bleed. This is painful and dickhead and twatface can fuck right off. As can Chelsea. Tinpot classless fuckfaces
-
Let’s see what changes he makes, tactically.
-
Hopefully someone in the crowd has a cabbage.
-
I know the midfield have been poor, but Cash was terrible for the first goal, and Carlos completely lost his man for the second.
Two very poor goals to concede. Losing the ball on the touchline when they've got a 3 v 2 advantage in that area, and an unmarked striker on the 6-yard line. The sort of mistakes that should be punished at the top level, and were.
-
Trying to remember when the last time was that we caught an opposing player offside. Can't.
Sheffield United six offsides on Saturday
Fair enough, didn't remember them, but have there been any against Newcastle or tonight? i.e. against halfway competent opposition.
-
Hopefully someone in the crowd has a cabbage.
Kamara is in the dressing room
-
Fortunately at the last minute I could not get to the match. I am really bad at watching on tv. Could someone please tell me how many times Chelsea have actually won the ball as opposed to how many times we have simply given it away?
-
The only way we will get anything from this personnel changes at HT. I worry that it'll be the same 11 trotting out second half.

I can't see substitutions alone making much difference. The shape has to change.
-
I’ve had a thoroughly shit day and the performance and commentary were not helping so I think I’ll bow out before I start self harming
-
This is worse than anything Gerrard plated up .
It reminds me of the Everton Carabao game but far worse
-
Chelsi look like a multi million pound team, Oh they are
-
Chelsea have obviously watched our game against Newcastle. It's an instruction video on how to beat us.
Both out of form as well. I think there’s a bit of complacency going on. The only changes he can make are Diaby and Ramsey and just have a go….and up the pace we’re playing at.
-
I’ve had a thoroughly shit day and the performance and commentary were not helping so I think I’ll bow out before I start self harming
As a self harmer mate, just rewatch the first half. Same effect

We have Dougie but he's cruising again tonight.
When McGinn passed the ball slightly behind him about halfway through that half, he just slowed his run and looked up. No urgency knowing full well they were breaking on us. That worried me. Not the attitude you need in the middle of the park.
-
This is worse than anything Gerrard plated up .
It reminds me of the Everton Carabao game but far worse
Without doubt it's the worst Villa performance in my 50 years following us.

Tielemans and Diaby have had their moments but on the whole, over the course of the season, they haven't performed with any consistency. Zaniolo hasn't clicked at all.
Yes, we're missing the player JJ was last season, but that's my point. Three new midfielders and we're still hampered by a player we already had being off form.
-
Well dick them this half
-
Can't be as bad this half surely, though I did say that against Newcastle, would settle for pens now!
-
Well dick them this half
Commentators can fockoff
-

it's poor, but 2015 had a dozen worse than this.
-
How the fuck is Kamara coming out for the second half?
To collect his inevitable yellow card.
-
I hope that wasnt our good half
-
Well dick them this half
That's more like it.
-
Can only imagine Unai told the starting XI to sort this out. Personally I'd have made several substitutions.
-
Carlos wants to get sent off
-
We looked a better footballing side in the 45 minutes we played rugby against Aston Brook St Mary's than we do tonight.
-
Ffs Dixon, how negative can you be
-
Watkins x 2
Diaby x 2
Heard it here first
Not neccessary in that order
-
Tiellemans has been shite tonight.
-
How can Emery not change anything at halftime. This is just pissing the time away.
-
If we're not interested in the FA Cup then why play our strongest eleven?
-
Really, we should put on all of Ramsay, Zaniolo and Diaby ASAP, and just hope they can use the half to find some form.
-
Watkins x 2
Diaby x 2
Heard it here first
Not neccessary in that order
I like that optimism. But it might be misplaced

fuck off dixon you prick
-

it's giving the players a chance to be better

This is worse. It's worse than anything.
-
How can Emery not change anything at halftime. This is just pissing the time away.
Was thinking the same, but man management probably is the reason. If he asks for change, and doesn't give them option to respond, what's the point
-
Lee Dixon really is an absolute bellend isn’t he?
-
We're so sloppy tonight.
-
It’s all very well smashing a dire Sheff U 5-0 but we’ve been utterly inept these last two games against decent opposition.
-
fuck off dixon you prick
He's done well to find a way to be more of a prick so far this half.
-
Lee Dixon really is an absolute bellend isn’t he?
Yeah, he's really getting on my nerves tonight.
-
Chelsea look like they've declared and why shouldn't they?
-
This is worse than anything Gerrard plated up .

Without doubt it's the worst Villa performance in my 50 years following us.
* history of the club
I have never, never seen a performance so bad. Everyone involved needs to be fired, and we need Joe Kinnear in to provide some sort of professionalism.
-
They are just running straight through us
-
Lee Dixon really is an absolute bellend isn’t he?
Yeah, he's really getting on my nerves tonight.

3-0
-
Fuck me that is the softest free kick I've seen for ages, really poor from the ref.

you fucking knew it

I’m so done with this. Something has gone rotten at the club

Gotta say that was superb

That wasn’t a foul.
VAR?

I’m off to watch trigger point. I’ll come back when the players develop some balls
-
I love Unai but he’s thrown this game by changing fuck all.
-
bollocks
-
Utter, utter, fucking bollocks.
-
Fucking hell. Teams suddenly playing like world beaters against us.
-
Something's gone badly awry with this team and has done for too long now. Emery needs to get to grips with this.
-
Lee Dixon really is an absolute bellend isn’t he?
Yeah, he's really getting on my nerves tonight.
sneering little knobend
For an Arsenal legend he seems a bit too pleased that Chelski are winning.
-
Well done unai, you fucked up here
-
I’m so done with this. Something has gone rotten at the club
Yes. You. Ha ha!
-
What do we think, 5, 6?
-
Sure the wall was 12 yards back
-
And there you go, entirely predictable. For as good as we’ve been this season, we’ve been an utter embarrassment in the last two home games.
-
Emery had to make changes at the break
-
just be reminded why I fucking hate them
-
FFS
-
Obligatory stupid goal. Never a free kick in the first place
-
Sorry guys, looks like another false dawn that's faded quickly. Good night
-
I’m so done with this. Something has gone rotten at the club
Yes. You. Ha ha!
I wash twice a decade thank you
-
Something rotten at the club? Behave.
-
Sure the wall was 12 yards back
He moved the bal la few times so it might well have been.
-
We deserve that 3rd goal purely for not making changes at half time
-
Winning the FA Cup is so 1890s.
-
Our 4 goals are going to be needed
-
I'm off to bed. Great free kick tbf.
-
Winning the FA Cup is so 1890s.
It is for us, sadly.
-
I love Unai, but last two home games he’s made a mess of completely.
-
What’s your prediction now Footy??
-
Not much you can do about that one.
-
Martinez probably should have got to it
-
Let's face it, we've played them three times and they've been the better team each time. The red card changed the first match, the second one they'd have had a hateful if they'd taken their chances and this one, well.
-
I love Unai but he’s thrown this game by changing fuck all.
He made a mistake leaving diaby on once for too long , hes made a mistake tonight leaving 11 players on tonight
-
3-0 down to a London club and looking clueless. Any chance Nas is there to rage sack this CLOWN.
-
Dixon is a complete cnut.
-
Martinez probably should have got to it
Hahaha!
-
That Chelsea team is so so weak. The defence is made of poor players and I can only see 3+ goals being scored and being on Leeds next round
Looking forward to this!
Up The Villa.
It was over after this one to be fair. An all-timer.
-
Who exactly on our bench is likely to inspire a comeback here? Torres is the only one that's been good this season and I'd rather keep him for the weekend.
-
Something rotten at the club? Behave.
This is the match thread. Overreactions are allowed!
Villa have woken up at last. That also was absolutely not a free kick. What does dickhead say? Who cares? Impartial commentary.
-
Dixon ' who cares it wasnt a free kick'
wanker
-
I love Unai, but last two home games he’s made a mess of completely.
He's can't be blamed for so many being off the pace and giving the ball away all the time
-
"Who cares it wasn't a freekick" ....i want to....
-
Yeah im done. Not waating any more time watching these losers tonight
-
"Doesmn't look like much of a free kick but who cares?" Fuck me Dixon you absolute bellend.
-
3-0 down to a London club and looking clueless. Any chance Nas is there to rage sack this CLOWN.
It's really not funny any more
-
I'm afraid that unless we score first we seem a pretty easy nut to crack Another embarrassing performance at home against a team that has really struggled lately. I thought the Sheffield Utd game was us getting back on track but I'm very worried watching this (after Newcastle) that we might be out of steam.
-
Come on, let's reshuffle
-
Dixon is a complete cnut.
Fits in well with our players tonight then
-
I thought Emery was a cup specialist.
-
We're the only team this season to make Chelsea look good, other than Middlesbrough
-
They have such a ridiculous amount of space. Why don't we press like they do?
-
I thought Emery was a cup specialist.
Not for us he isn't.
-
I thought Emery was a cup specialist.
Yeah but at Villa you need to be a cup miracle worker
-
I think the plan is to save us for Manu at the weekend and go for top four instead of the Fa cup. I think Emery has said that PL has priority. After all we do seems to take it as a training match.
-
3-0 down in successive home games is bad even if you're Luton against Man City and Liverpool.
-
I thought Emery was a cup specialist.
Not for us he isn't.
Rabbit in the headlights tonight.
-
He got us into the 4th round of the FA Cup, that's a pretty miraculous achievement.
-
3-0 down to a London club and looking clueless. Any chance Nas is there to rage sack this CLOWN.
It's really not funny any more
He'll be doing his 'I'm rattled, are you rattled?' routine next.
-
I thought Emery was a cup specialist.
A cup emabarrssmenalist
Stevange and now this on our own turf
Im not happy with him tonight. Just like newcastle didnt bother to make zero changes
-
Still no subs....
-
Man United are going to murder us
-
They have such a ridiculous amount of space. Why don't we press like they do?
Been told to throw the game is crossing my mind. It’s the only excuse that’s excusable.

Two very concerning home performances back to back and those ****** coming on Sunday. It was fun while it lasted

There is absolutely no shape or structure , zero

Yes. You. Ha ha!

Once more than me!!!
-

Wishful thinking. This is the same performance as the Newcastle game. We haven't felt with the press well enough in midfield, have wasted the attacking situations we've had, and looked shaky at the back. And our midfield has been SHITE. This is worrying.
-
Chelsea are much more energetic, much more aggressive, much more pace. These all missing from our team. Chelsea doing to us tonight what we have been doing to teams all season.
-
I think I'd have played better than kamara tonight
-
Battering us in fairness. Every single passage of play they've been better.
-
Still no subs....
No Bailey to bring on
-
When we have the ball there's three of their players to one of ours. And when they have the ball, there's three of their players to one of ours. Where are our players?
-
Man United are going to murder us
No they won't.
-
Man United are going to murder us
Yep if we go behind we have absolutely not idea. The precision and accuracy has gone and we’ve been utterly humiliated in successive home games.
-
Dixon ' who cares it wasnt a free kick'

Moreno is absolute garbage. FFS.

This.
Though it has never been anywhere remotely near funny.
-

-
least we are not playing ET
Players have fucked off home it seems
-
Bringing Chuckawanka on will piss me off
-
Chelsea players standing only a few yards away on our free kicks. Where is the ref with his spray to mark ten yards?
-
This is outrageously shit. Why the fuck is unai sitting on his hands, he can't say he wants to win this game. Garbage from literally every single player, total embarrassment
-
Man United are going to murder us
No they won't.
What about the last 2 home games gives you that sort of confidence?
-
Man United are going to murder us
No they won't.
Yeah I don't think they will. This is probably their best performance of the season and we're totally off it tonight.
-
Newcastle shipped 4 at home to Luton, and Chelsea shipped 4 at home to Wolves and we look like we could play all fucking night and not score at the moment.
-
Whats happened to our home form.
Do this shit and Man utd will beat us too.
-
Get Diaby on he's full of goals
-
They don’t look arsed.
At least against Newcastle they had a go in the second half.
-
Get Diaby on he's full of goals
hes got 2 in him tonight :D
-
They have such a ridiculous amount of space. Why don't we press like they do?
I don't think we've been able to press properly for some time with our injuries in defence. We aren't able to play the high line we normally do with no pace.
-
sometimes our slow build up just isn't going to work
-
Whatever he does now it's too late. I really don't understand it.
-
more of a foul then their FK
-
Hahaha, Dixon. Fuck me. Proper WUM today.
-
Why hasn't VAR reviewed that for a foul?
-
Lee Dixon is a complete and utter twat
-
get players off before injured . we have lost it so dont risk it
-
It’s all very well smashing a dire Sheff U 5-0 but we’ve been utterly inept these last two games against decent opposition.

That "your city is Blue chant" will tickle the Noses I'm sure.
-
Fair play to the fans for staying.
-
When you're playing like this, the least you need is for the officials to be competent. McGinn blatantly fouled there, but nah wave play on you fucking c**t.
-
Why hasn't VAR reviewed that for a foul?
They only get involved with potential red cards. To be fair, you can't expect them to get involved with every foul, you just need a competent ref...
-
Dixon thinks we’re saving players on the bench for the weekend, complete twat
-
‘If it goes in the bottom corner he won’t want a foul’
Really?
It was foul. It was more of a free kick than the one they just scored from but the way we’re playing is nowhere near annoying enough on its own so do go on Mr Dixon!
-
What worries me the most is Unai just doesn’t seem to be trying anything.
-
Just going out with a whimper.
-
Dixon thinks we’re saving players on the bench for the weekend, complete twat
I wish he was right.
-
Moreno is absolute garbage. FFS.
I was just thinking how much more solid we were with Digne.
-
Fuck this I'm ordering a takeaway
-
Absolute rubbish Youri
-
Tielemans has been wank.
-
It’s not quite been 2016 levels of abysmal, but it’s not far off.
-
They have to know this is not ok
-
You've got no chance when no one plays well.
-
Unai doesnt think any of them can make a difference.
-
I’m really disappointed with the manager tonight he’s not beyond criticism. He has no plan b whatsoever. And is now immune to substitutions. He’s already given up the ghost on this one.
-
If you're really not bothered Emery, at least take some of these fuckers off for a rest before the weekend.
-
You've got no chance when no one plays well.
Yeah, it's not one or two problems... it's 11
-
tielmans passing been wank
-
It has been so crushingly predictable since we went behind.
-
JJ and Diaby coming on.
-
that was the one to give us a lift
-
Tielemans has been absolutely dismal tonight. I don't where to start with how bad he's been.
-
Think I'll watch the end of the women's QF extra time and probable pens on my phone. Has to be better.
-
Tielemans should have been off 20 mins ago
-
Tielemans and SJM off.
-
What really annoys me is that this is genuinely embarrassing and on national free to view tv.
It’s not acceptable. Simple as that.
-
Tielemans is as bad this half as Kamara was first half. Oh here we are the Steve Bruce 70 minute subs….far too late Unai!!
-
Big shout out for our number 8 tonight. Beyond woeful for a full 70 minutes, great consistency.
-
We are either throwing this or Emery doesn’t have a plan B.
-
They’ve absolutely owned this match from start to finish.
-
It has been so crushingly predictable since we went behind.
Yep. Chelsea really only needed one goal.
-
First time under under Unai I have been really fucked off with a performance
-
Every year in this completion, every single fucking year.
-
Tielemans has been absolutely dismal tonight. I don't where to start with how bad he's been.
He's good against shite teams, a bit of a flat track bully. No athleticism at all against better sides who move it quicker.
-
What really annoys me is that this is genuinely embarrassing and on national free to view tv.

Indeed how on earth are we 4th?!

Diaby lol wtf was that
-
what a finish Diaby

We won’t be for long.
-
How much did Diaby cost again??
-
Diaby, hahahaha. Wank.
-
This is tough to watch. For the second midweek in a row. Battered again
-
First time under under Unai I have been really fucked off with a performance
Stevenage?
-
Wolves stuck four past these so they can't be that good. Something is badly wrong.
-
If you're really not bothered Emery, at least take some of these fuckers off for a rest before the weekend.
I wish that was the case. Unfortunately he hasn't got an answer to Poch's tactics. His players are equally clueless. Shocking performance.
-
Bailey shoot ffs
-
It’s comical some of our passing…
-
Ffs walking into the net Fcuk off
-
Man Utd is becoming a massive game. Put in another home stinker and you wonder if it's all going to fall apart. Win and we're back on track.
-
Emery has done brilliantly for us but his limitations are now starting to show.
-
First time under Unai since Newcastle I have been really fucked off with a performance
FTFY
-
I can’t tell you how disappointed I am tonight. I really fancied us this year for some reason.
-
Emery has done brilliantly for us but his limitations are now starting to show.
Honestly you're a cretin
-
Emery has done brilliantly for us but his limitations are now starting to show.
It's not him doing the passing to Chelsea ffs
-
This is very worrying.
-
Emery has done brilliantly for us but his limitations are now starting to show.
Honestly you're a cretin
Whether he is or not the manager has been found out tonight well and truly by world class coach Poch.
-

Has he bollocks, we've played badly, it's nothing to do with Emery being found out.
-

Nah.
-
You don't need to be a world class manager to beat a team that can't be bothered to run, tackle or pass properly.
-
Emery has done brilliantly for us but his limitations are now starting to show.
Honestly you're a cretin
I’ll second that
-
Man Utd is becoming a massive game. Put in another home stinker and you wonder if it's all going to fall apart. Win and we're back on track.
Yep. Massive.
-

Credit to Chelsea but I think Poch has very little to do with whether they perform or not.
-
They’re delivering what they’re coached. I’m calling it now he has no answer to when teams super press against us and we cannot counter attack with ease.
-

There was no plan B. We just carried on as we were.
-
Not one player has been better than a 2/10 tonight. I do think we have been found out tactically, but players being unable to do the most basic things competently I don't think can be put on Emery alone tonight
-
Emery has done brilliantly for us but his limitations are now starting to show.
It's not him doing the passing to Chelsea ffs
using that logic he shouldn't get credit when we paly well because its not him passing etc
-
I am really not a fan of doing something that clearly is not working and responding to that by continuing to do exactly the same.
-
He's starting to get sussed is Mr Emery. Might want to start mixing it up a bit.
-
Saving players for Sunday has to be the most comical comment of the night.
-
Yep this is so shit it has to be deliberate.
-

If you really have to Judge him do so when we have a full first team defence to select from.

Exactly.

They are finding it so easy to snuff us out

That’s what Dixon said !
-
Utter fucking clown show.
-
Fuck sake can Matterface climb under further up Pochettino's arse
-
I love it when a match thread becomes a game of insults.
The only insult we should have tonight is our teams performance.
-
Yep this is so shit it has to be deliberate.
I was just about to say the same.
In fact I HOPE that is it because if this bowl of cat sick is what we get from genuinely trying our best to win, then this is really worrying.
-
I’ve turned the sound down it’s remarkably therapeutic.
-
Fuck sake can Matterface climb under further up Pochettino's arse
Only if you get out first.
-
not convinced well win this
-
Christ, is the game still going on?
-

I’ve turned the picture off as well. It’s even better.
-
Christ, is the game still going on?
God here. Sadly so
-
We've won 4 out of 11 since beating Arsenal. Brentford (15th), Burnley (19th), Sheff Utd (20th) and Boro (12th Championship). Big question is have we gone off the boil because we've been sussed or is it mainly the injuries.

yes and the performance against likes of Man city was players every performance is players so like i said using your logic if he doesn't get any blame for poor performances he shouldn't get credit for good ones

Where are Chelsea in the table? What’s their wage bill? Have a word with yourself.
-
We've saw time and tjme again that Diaby and Bailey can't play so close together in this formation, with the game gone it should've been an opportunity to play them both on the seperate wings. But nahhhh let's continue to watch them get in each others way repeatedly. Nice one.
-
Fucking this is amateur.
-

Unfortunately I think we’ve been sussed.
We seem to only play one way and when that doesn’t work, we lose.
-
Lenglet is fucking shit and I have no idea why he's a Barcelona player and not turning out for Nantes or Montpellier or someone.

No it's not the same ffs,

This has been much, much worse than Newcastle even, and that was appalling.
-
Yep this is so shit it has to be deliberate.
I was just about to say the same.
In fact I HOPE that is it because if this bowl of cat sick is what we get from genuinely trying our best to win, then this is really worrying.
There’s deliberately being shit and there’s this. If Ivan Toney was playing for us I would be suspicious in the extreme.
-

Matterface is a Chelsea fan.
He's ITV's equivalent of Carragher covering Liverpool games or G Neville covering Man Utd's.
Unbiased commentary is a thing of the past.

Thank you for trying to lighten the mood with some levity. Most welcome at this trying time.

1-3 game on!!!!!!!!

Yep press us early, try and nick a goal and then it’s game over.
-
see shoot and you score
-
4 mins added time
-
Still time
-
Let's not over do the negative here. I'd imagine that's Chelsea's best performance of the season. When we play at our best we are hard to beat. I don't doubt our desire to win, i think Chelsea have done a job on us.....The free kick that was not a free kick for the 3rd goal killed it for us.....
-
Diaby. Well least he scored
-
4 mins is a joke by the way.
-
Yep this is so shit it has to be deliberate.
I was just about to say the same.
In fact I HOPE that is it because if this bowl of cat sick is what we get from genuinely trying our best to win, then this is really worrying.
If it was deliberate we would have rested a few players. It's a horror show from all concerned.

Go on then oh all knowing one explain the difference between credit when it right but no blame when it wrong
-
might give him a lift I suppose

Dixon says its scrappy!!! Kick his ass

4 mins added time
How is it only 4 minutes, it took 2 1/2 minutes to get the game restarted after Caicedo sat down in midfield and he's booked their keeper for time wasting. Given what has been the normthis season that's about half what we should've expected.
-
Yes of course Lee Dixon it was a miss hit…TWAT!!
-
Moreno deserves minus points.
-
Ffs late comeback villa. Too little too
Late
-
We should have been doing this at least 15 mins ago.
-
Moreno deserves minus points.
At least he did some attacking, which Cash didn't
-
Why do we not show this urgency earlier when there's still a chance to turn the game around?
-
There's always next year. FT.
-
Look at Gallagher making the Italian Ian Olney jump around like a kid in a play pen.
-
Utter utter wank
-
Bollocks, time for bed
-
Lee Dixon the worst ever
-
Lee Dixon the worst ever
Must have been inspired by our players performance
-
Matter face with his Matterhorn chubby for chelsea. ******. And them Yorkshire ****** on the train earlier.
-
Diaby is back, his goal - the confidence boost we needed to be ready for Manu.
-
Bring back the fortress
-
I've never heard a comm performance as poor as Dixon's. He was like a troll today. I actually found it funny by the end.
-
Bring back the fortress
Bring back Slippy G
-
Bring back the fortress
Ours is like a usaaf Flying Fortress hit by flak over Bremen
-
4 mins is a joke by the way.
It was three full minutes from when Caicedo went down injured to the restart after the subs. I guess they gave us an extra 60 seconds for the "checks notes" SIX other subs and their literal time-wasting booking. I genuinely thought we'd be getting 8 or 9 minutes.

Let's just say we were shit in the beginning, shite during the middle and dog poo for the remainder of the game. Another self inflicted defeat against a midtable team supported by tossers.

I’ve had a shitty day. Woke up in the middle of the night in Grobelsdaal vomiting and ended with checking the footy scores. My head agronomist is a Palestinian Chelsea fan, fortunately he taps out at 8pm, but I have a day of being annoyed ahead of me.
Shit happens. I am in a beautiful private game reserve with a load of friends. Need to chalk it off and enjoy the next game.
In RSA so was a shame they missed out on the Afcom final. Very entertaining match though.
Yesterday watched the Asian match with my Jordanian Palestinian mate, and against all odds they beat South Korea. Win some loose some but whatever happens this is the best season in donkeys years for us villans. Onwards and upwards.

And very well put: Onwards and upwards!
